 HAWA MAHAL,
JAIPUR
Jaipur's most famous landmark is the Palace of the Winds or Hawa Mahal,
a fantasia of 953 ornate of windows set in a rose-colored five storey
facade. The palace, tier upon tier of curved arch surmounting fairy
casements with "jali", lattice work screens the ladies from the public.
From here the ladies of the court could look out at festive processions
without jeopardizing their modest seclusion.
